    Have you installed any new software? Can you visual basic still make .ocx files and .dll files? or anything alone those lines, lol.

    It would probably be a good idea to reinstall VB.

    Hack is right. maybe one of the files it uses to create an exe is gone. If you want you could also find the exe file when your running your program in VB, however im not sure if that will work. Best to reinstall it.

    No doubt something got hosed up in your VB settings when this occurred. After hearing this, I believe more than ever that you should do a re-install.

    Re: VB wont create .exe

    Well VB6+ Uses a system of close and open doors if the user trys to make a compile EXE file befor this door open into making a EXE it opens another door to the source code: if it finds an error it will lock the compile EXE door lock somtimes for unkown reson it writes it down in the .DAT of the file and will disable VB.

    Another Reson could be that one of the EXE coding files got delete or read only in that case VB automatecly disable the function that the missing file used to work for

    Thats What my ant told me - Works for microsoft developer (builds the next vb)

    This is a very common issue. I know you've reinstalled now but the quick solution, in case anyone else finds this, is just to remove the menu item and re-add it again
